Mas Codina, Cava Reserva Brut Rosé 2022

This is an aromatic, joyously pink bubbly that makes a delicious change from Toni Garriga's impressive and inexpensive white cava reserva.

Subtle red fruit aromas from the pure Pinot Noir grapes meet lasting, fine effervescence in a celebratory glassful that has appealing berry flavours and enough body to make it an accommodating food wine.

Mas Codina is in the Alt Penedès, a subregion west of Barcelona and protected from the elements by two mountain ranges. The family-owned company grows its fruit and makes its wines on a estate dating from 1681. It bottles only estate-grown fruit.
